# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in Section A.

## A. Overview of Information Collection

*Title of Information Collection:*                     Request for Construction on Project Mortgages.                

*OMB Approval Number:*                     2502-0011.                

*Type of Request:*                     Reinstatement, with change, of previously approved collection for which approval has expired.                

*Form Number:*                     HUD-92437.                

*Description of the need for the information and proposed use:*

The previous OMB collection reflects an accurate assessment of the numbers submitted under this collection, which included two forms used by OMAPO, formally Contract Administration, CA (HUD-92442-CA, HUD-92442-A-CA). In addition, the specific forms, HUD-92441, HUD-92442, and HUD-92442-A, have been deleted under this collection and placed under the Closing documents, OMB control number 2502-0598. The current numbers were based on the average of three fiscal years of initial endorsements. Furthermore, the numbers under this collection reflect a healthy housing industry since 2010 in which credit markets stabilized and interest rates were low and Multifamily housing occupancy was very strong. HUD plays a vital part in the housing industry and the increased numbers reflect that strong demand. This form HUD-92437 serves as the project's change order involving changes to contact work, contract price, or contract time. All on-site construction changes are submitted on this form. The contractor, architect, mortgagor, and mortgagee must approve the proposed changes before the request is submitted to HUD for approval. The form ensures that viable projects are developed.

*Respondents:*                     Individuals participating in HUD Multifamily mortgage insurance programs as principals of sponsors, mortgagors, and general contractors.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     1,174.                

*Estimated Number of Responses:*                     3,522.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     3.                

*Average Hours per Response:*                     2.                

*Total Estimated Burden:*                     7,044.                

## B. Solicitation of Public Comment
